think he s going to do the right thing and release parts of the report. he s not going to release the whole report. he will release parts. but that s my prediction. charles: robert? well, it s hard to say. depends on what is in that report. you can imagine andy mccarthy, my former colleague from the certain district of new york has touched on the right issues. you may have national security information in the report, which would be problematic to be re-luised. charles: and that can be redacted. it s difficult to do that and not provide appropriate context. you have the possibility that there s grand jury information in the report that would require a court order to release it. you have the potential of an executive privilege assertion. charles: put that on hold. we have new developments on the manafort situation. we re going back to doug mckelway. he s outside the courthouse with more. doug? yeah, charles. this is proving to be more complex of a sentencing hearing
the, cross-examine with ellie and joins us to give us his take on the week with big issues like this. it must be our viewers can see the future because they had this exact question for you about this potential development and congressman schiff will talk about it tomorrow, but the question is can schiff and congress compel mueller to testify in front of them to say what he knows about the mueller report? our viewers were on this all week and adam schiff proves them right. good work by the viewers. the answer is yes, he would have to testify. but people need to understand, it would not be an open book. it would not be tell us everything about the investigation. he could not talk about national security information, classified information, grand jury information, meaning information he got through subpoena typically is supposed to be secret. but there are ways to go to a judge and ask for permission to
people in the special counsel s office and i think that s why they took this rare occasion, actually the second time to issue this statement and distance themselves from buzzfeed. this is the story i think that the media, even the conservative media are getting dead wrong. they are praising mueller, look at this. the guy is a good guy, after all they put out a statement, it s self-serving. it was totally self-serving, they were protecting themselves. in terms of this report that they re writing, you don t doubt that weissmann has a heavy hand in this? i m sure he will edit every word out of it. and they ll deliver to the attorney general, then attorney general will be pressured to deliver it to congress, to deliver it to the media, but there could be grand jury information in there, there could be national security information that honestly has to be removed and so it seems to me
people at doj and i believe people in the special counsel s office. i think that is why they took this rare occasion second time i believe they done it, to issued the statement in distance themselves from buffy. this is the story, i think, that the media even conservative media are getting that wrong they are praising all her and look at this but the guy is a good guy. he put out a statement and it is self-serving. totally self-serving. they were protecting themselves. mark: in terms of the support that they are writing, you don t doubt that wiseman has a heavy handedness? is the number two under robert mueller. i m sure he will edit every word of it. mark: and they will deliver it to the attorney general and the attorney general will be pressure to deliver it to congress or delivered to the media but there could be grand jury information in their and national security information that honestly has to be removed
